Best Pancake/French Toast in Singapore
Carb-ridden these may be, but we know most people cave in at the mention of pancakes or French toast. These quintessential brunch favourites can be found - literally - in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of flavour combinations and condiments. So which are worth the calories? Here's a list of our favourites.

ARTISTRY
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the PB & J French Toast
A classic American take on a beloved European favourite. Without a doubt, Artistry makes one of the best French Toasts in Singapore. The moist and grilled brioche was lightly drizzled with maple syrup and the tart berry compote. It's available on weekdays too so visit then to avoid the weekend crowds.

BRIDGE RESTAURANT & BAR
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Truffle Honey French Toast
Eggy, buttery, toast to a crisp on the outside but mighty moist on the inside, Bridge's French toast alone is a force to be reckoned with. What most would fall head over heels in love with however, is the decadent truffle honey generously drizzled over. Subtle, yet unmistakably fragrant, it's a straight kick into truffle heaven.

For Berries and Flapjacks
A tall stack of soft and fluffy oat and buttermilk pancakes, layered with cream and served with fresh mixed berries. Topped off with organic maple syrup, you can trust Aussies to perfect the pancake.

HOUSE AT DEMPSEY
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the 7-layer Pancake
It takes time - and a whole lot of tummy space - to work through this stack of seven thin and fluffy butter pancakes, layered with a mixture of Nutella, raisins, dried apricots, hazelnuts, pistachios, and maple syrup. It's mighty sinful and definitely not one for the light-hearted.

MIAM MIAM
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For their famous French Toast
Miam Miam's French toast is pillowy, super eggy and soft, much like the ones our parents love to make at home. It's perfect for soaking up all that sweet maple syrup. Just don't make the same mistake we did to think that the deceiving neat scoop atop the pile of cubed bread is ice cream - it isn't. Request to have the cream removed if you'd like.

PACAMARA BOUTIQUE COFFEE ROASTERS
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Sticky Date Pancake
This is the pancake reincarnation of the classic sticky date pudding. Boasting a strong spiced fragrance, these fluffy stacks are topped generously with a luscious toffee-like caramel sauce. Served with lots of sliced bananas, a scoop of highly addictive salted caramel ice cream, candied pecans, and cookie dough, it's more than worth the buck at a jawdropping S$17.90.

PADDY HILLS
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Berry Ricotta Hotcake
It may have been modeled after Top Paddock's popular hotcakes, but this is an entirely different ball game. It's very similar to a pound cake with a crisp exterior - or more accurately a buttery muffin top. Yes it's unconventional and yes we wouldn't even call it a pancake/hotcake, but it's absolutely delicious anyway.

PADDY HILLS

For the Orange Ricotta Pillows
If you're a staunch traditionalist, then go for these pancakes instead. It's possibly one of the fluffiest around, and boast a strong tart and citrusy flavour. The creamy coconut gelato helps balancs all that acidity. Citrus lovers, this is a must-try.

REVOLUTION COFFEE
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Pancakes with Gula Melaka Butterscotch & Banana
Winning the title of Burpple's Best Waffles and Pancakes for 2013, these thin, dense, yet mad fragrant pancakes come topped with a stunning sweet and earthy gula melaka butterscotch sauce, then finished with coconut whipped cream and bananas for the complete Carribean experience.

For the Brioche French Toast
They don't look the prettiest, but they are definitely one of the tastiest. The amazing French toasts are served with braised green apples, bacon, hazelnut butter and syrup. Shove all of that into your mouth and that's a winning combination of sweet and savoury, moist and crispy.

SHELTER IN THE WOODS
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Shelter French Toast
Buttery fragrant super thick brioche toast, fantastically eggy and moist, topped with a good berry compote and vanilla ice cream - did I mention there's grilled cheese in there too? It's soft, delicious, sweet and savoury all in a bite.

For the Warm Fluffy Pancake Stack
Warm, chewy, and slightly dense, these pancakes had huge slices of fresh strawberries scattered in the batter. Eat them with the condiments of fruit compote or chocolate, or top up S$4.80++ for a scoop of ice cream!

THE BRAVERY
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Pancakes Stack
Served with sliced bananas, creamy ricotta cheese and crushed pistachios, these fluffy babies sure live up to the claim of being one of the best pancakes in Singapore. The texture of these pancakes are absolutely spot-on and amazing. Note that the 'honey' generously drizzled over is actually golden syrup.

THE FABUBLOUS BAKER BOY
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the Apple Cider Pancakes
Rustic pancakes like those at TFBB's promises the most charm. Simply topped with butter and syrup, these cloud-like melt-in-your-mouth pancakes come with chunks of cooked apples. Trust me, you won't have a problem polishing these babies off the plate. Note that TFBB uses mock maple syrup.
